| | Yes The Internet has been cited in lots of divorce case since AOL got revved up.
Actually, a more interesting project involved DARPA using a headset so the wearer could experience anything recorded as their own. The movie Brainstorm was based on that project that supposedly works. The DOD has continued the research into the brain via such connections. Imagine learning a whole college degree in a couple of days? The movie The Matrix had a similar product when people "jacked in".

kudos:3 | Wait.. Darpa? DOD? Government messing with the brain?? That's ok, but gene therapy and stem cell research isn't? It's ok to f*ck with life, just not make it better and healthier. Oh.. wait.. that's right.. this government profits off sick people as well as knowing the thoughts of people. :P I'm back now.

Woburn, MA | Yeah... No thanks, I'm all for technology but I don't need a direct link to it via my brain. Just what I need Norton Anti Virus Brain Edition.
As far as the internet replacing a significant other, they need lives unless its like a virtual world and feels real to you in which case I can only imagine what sites like that would cost.

| | Hmmm couple important things to include 1) FBI/NSA will need a back door into your chip implant (save us from the bad guys).
2) Congress will need to levi new taxes on it.
3) Someone will need to invest a B2B (Brain 2 Brain network for sharing files/thoughts)
4) If you have problems with your implant chip. You will need to "think" (not call) to India for support.
5) Will need a good firewall / ant-virus thing. Don't want hackers turning your Brain into a Zombie Bot Brain.
6) Pr0n industry will make the implant chip very popular.

Ann Arbor, MI | Proving 11% of Americans don't think Don't they bother to think these things through? I think this falls into the sounded like a good idea at the time category. Once you start thinking about what it would take and what the consequences (sorry forgot that in America "it's not my fault") would be. You think cell phone drives are bad, just think how well the jacked in would drive.
